But Do You Know His Credit Score?

You met this guy. Hot, charming, and maybe even smart (time will tell on that one). Is that all there is to it? How do you tell if he's really worth dating? I mean, you have a life and all. And you have some relationship goals you're shooting for. Is this guy the real deal? Or is he just eye candy?
There are a couple of question you should think about (and try to find answers to) in order to decide. The most obvious one is, does he have a criminal record? It's always nice to know if the guy you're dating has a rap sheet for domestic violence, or if he's been involved in a couple of auto theft rings. Probably not. But if so, you want to discover that early.
The second item on the list is credit. If you can find out his credit score, that tells you a lot about his character – and about what life might be life, financially, after marriage.
Of course, there are plenty of services out there that will tell you these sorts of things. Some of those services will even tell you if he's already married…
